Once diagnosed clinically with shoulder subacromial impingement syndrome, they will be invited to join the study.

The experimental arm will include subacromial injection of study subjects with autologous platelet-rich plasma; wheres subjects in the other study arm will be injected with methylprednisolone.\n\nThe outcome will be assessed through three scores. The study subjects will be asked to complete Oxford Shoulder Score questionnaire and health-related quality of life SF-36 questionnaire and Constant-Murley score will be measured through physician-based assessment done by the residents involved in the study. This will be done during the baseline visit before injection and repeated at 2, 6, 12 weeks and 6 months follow-up visits.\n\nAlso any adverse effects of both treatment arms will be monitored and reported as appropriate.\n\nThe investigators hypothesize that injecting platelet-rich plasma into the subacromial space of patients with subacromial impingement will result in decreased pain and increased function at 6 months follow-up (assessed by Constant-Murley Score, Oxford Shoulder Score, and Short Form-36 (SF-36) questionnaire) as compared to patients injected with methylprednisolone.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '65 Years', 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Any adult male or female between 18 and 65 years of age, inclusive, with clinical diagnosis of shoulder subacromial impingement\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Age below 18 or above 65 years\n* History of prior shoulder injections or surgery\n* History of fracture of the acromion, clavicle, scapula, or proximal humerus\n* Known allergy to corticosteroids\n* Known allergy to lidocaine'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT02669303', 'acronym': 'ShIP', 'briefTitle': 'Platelet-rich Plasma (PRP) Injection for Treating Shoulder Subacromial Impingement Syndrome', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'American University of Beirut Medical Center'}, 'officialTitle': 'Comparing Subacromial Injection of Platelet-rich Plasma Versus Methylprednisolone in the Treatment of Shoulder Subacromial Impingement Syndrome', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'SUR.MA.134'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': 'platelet-rich plasma group', 'description': 'Autologous platelet-rich plasma subacromial injection', 'interventionNames': ['Drug: platelet-rich plasma group']}, {'type': 'ACTIVE_COMPARATOR', 'label': 'Methylprednisolone group', 'description': 'Methylprednisolone subacromial injection', 'interventionNames': ['Drug: Methylprednisolone group']}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'platelet-rich plasma group', 'type': 'DRUG', 'otherNames': ['autologous platelet-rich plasma', 'PRP'], 'description': 'Once randomized to platelet-rich plasma arm, the study subject will have 30cc of blood drawn and centrifuged using the "Recover(TM) Platelet Separation Kit" (Biomet Biologics, Warsaw, Indiana, USA).
